In the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has nominated Union Minister Purushottam Rupala as its candidate from the Rajkot seat. On the other hand, the Congress candidate for the same constituency is yet to be announced, leading to speculation within the party. Among the names being considered by the Congress, there is a strong possibility of Paresh Dhanani being fielded as their candidate against Rupala. This move is seen as part of a strategic maneuver aimed at pitting Dhanani against Rupala, setting the stage for a competitive electoral contest in Rajkot.
